J.J. Fuds Issues Recall of Chicken Tender Chunks

News

Indiana based pet food manufacturer J.J. Fuds announced the recall of a select lot of J.J. Fuds Chicken Tender Chunks Pet Food because it has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria.

According to a press release issued by the FDA, the recall came after the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development conducted routine tests and the results showed positive for Listeria.

Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Listeria infection can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women.

Animals ill with Listeria will display symptoms similar to those seen in humans.

At this time there have been no reports of human or pet illness as a result of these products.

The following J. J. Fuds Premium Natural Blends product(s) are being recalled:
